132 packages were deleted from my system
by pgaltieri 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

I just discovered that a whole bunch of packages just got deleted from my F27 system after doing an update. This happened on 2 different systems. I discovered this after I had to reboot one of them because the laptop screen went blank. After rebooting it never went to graphics mode. I discovered then that the gdm package had been deleted. I then looked at the dnf.log file and it shows that 12 packages were updated and 119 packages were removed. WTF? Paolo

github -- building an app ---- waaayy off topic!!
by bruce 16 Jul '18

16 Jul '18

Hi peeps! This is way off topic, but I haven't yet found a good nderstanding of how to accomplish my goal. I'm trying to build an app from source from github. So this is a "learning' process. The target app -- browsermob proxy is a proxy tool/server. The source obviously is on github. The instructions for building the app are sparse. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://github.com/lightbody/browsermob-proxy ---- Getting started: Standalone To run in standalone mode from the command line, first download the latest release from the releases page, or build the latest from source. The download/releases page has a browsermob-proxy-2.1.4-bin.zip Source code (zip) Source code (tar.gz) But I'm not sure if the bin.zip is for windows/linux... i'm running linux obviously! So it's prob/alos good to know how to build from the Source anyhow.. These are the build from source instructions.. I'm not sure what to do with this!! ++++++ Building the latest from source You'll need maven (brew install maven if you're on OS X): [~]$ mvn -DskipTests You'll find the standalone BrowserMob Proxy distributable zip at browsermob-dist/target/browsermob-proxy-2.1.5-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip. Unzip the contents and run the browsermob-proxy or browsermob-proxy.bat files in the bin directory. When you build the latest code from source, you'll have access to the latest snapshot release. To use the SNAPSHOT version in your code, modify the version in your pom: <dependency> <groupId>net.lightbody.bmp</groupId> <artifactId>browsermob-core</artifactId> <version>2.1.6-SNAPSHOT</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> +++ Haven't found any pointers across the web on how/what to do to build the app on linux. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks

by lejeczek 16 Jul '18

.. but the same gnome @xorg logs in fine... ??? hi guys, I've a laptop that has carried a number of Fedora reiterations, I think it started with f25 and since then I just kept on upgrading. Somewhere along the long line of updates gnome stopped logging in wayland session - I type password in and screen just blinks and split second later I'm presented with the same login prompt - but gnome @Xorg logs me in(including autologin) just fine. I'd very much like to avoid re/installing Fedora so I hope you guys can help to troubleshoot it. Any suggestions most appreciated. many thanks, L

SELinux problems with logwatch?

Custom unattented installation. - Possible?
by Dirk Gottschalk 14 Jul '18

14 Jul '18

Hello, I already have created customized live media with Kickstart and the live media creation tools. Now I am after a way to create cusomized installation media for fully unattented installation. Something like insert the media, turn the computer on, select the Boot drive, go to sleep and let the magic work. ^^ My system partition has 20GB of data, because I have many installed packages. This would never fit on a live CD. I have read about Kickstart for this purpose, but this were only old docs and none of this ways worked out for me. Would it be possible to take the netinst image for example and modify it to do what I want, install all packages I have installed right now and for example pull my configurations from a duplicity backup if worst case occurs? Yes, I know, Kickstart and can do both, but how can I create a media which already contains my custom Kickstart file, without the need of providing this from an external source?

https traffic monitoring from client
by bruce 14 Jul '18

14 Jul '18

Hi. Trying to wrap my head around what I need to setup on a test system to be able to capture/view (in a file or via app output) the https traffic. My use case I have a test app talking to a remote server on "https" and I want to be able to see what the traffic flow is in terms of get/post cmds... I see different sites/articles on the need to setup a proxy server/certs and to then install/insert the cert in the "browser" location. In my case I'm using a test headless browser, so I'm trying to get a basic model of how this can work. So, if anyone has insight/pointers feel free to share!! thanks

Quick (I hope!) dnf question.
by home user 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

A. background: Consider this sequence of dnf commands... --------------- bash.32[~]: dnf provides Xeyes Last metadata expiration check: 13 days, 6:37:31 ago on Tue 26 Jun 2018 09:03:52 AM MDT. Error: No Matches found bash.33[~]: dnf provides x_eyes Last metadata expiration check: 13 days, 6:38:00 ago on Tue 26 Jun 2018 09:03:52 AM MDT. Error: No Matches found bash.34[~]: dnf search --all xeyes Last metadata expiration check: 13 days, 6:38:21 ago on Tue 26 Jun 2018 09:03:52 AM MDT. No matches found. bash.35[~]: dnf provides xeyes Last metadata expiration check: 13 days, 6:38:29 ago on Tue 26 Jun 2018 09:03:52 AM MDT. xorg-x11-apps-7.7-18.fc27.x86_64 : X.Org X11 applications Repo : @System Matched from: Provide : xeyes = 1.1.1 xorg-x11-apps-7.7-18.fc27.x86_64 : X.Org X11 applications Repo : fedora Matched from: Provide : xeyes = 1.1.1 bash.36[~]: --------------- This is just to show that 1. dnf's "provides" command is sensitive to case and special characters; the spelling must be exact. 2. dnf's "search" command doesn't necessarily find something even when spelled correctly. I already have "xeyes", the above is merely demonstration. B. the question: If I want to find a tool, application, etc., and I don't know its exact spelling, and trying all case and special character possibilities is not practical, how do I search for it using dnf, so I can then install it (or discover that I already have it)? thanks, Bill.

F27 to F28 Upgrade Fails at Offline Install Time
by Stephen Morris 12 Jul '18

12 Jul '18

Hi, Yesterday I downloaded all the F28 packages necessary to upgrade my system from F27 to F28 by using the following command: sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=28 --allowerasing --skip-broken I added the last 2 parameters because dnf told me there were packages it could not upgrade because of conflicts and to add those parameters. Having had the process start it said there were approx. 3540 packages to be downloaded, which took several hours to do. I ran the dnf system-upgrade reboot command as required, but because I had other things I needed to do I shut the machine down at the subsequent grub menu. This morning I booted Fedora and it booted to the starting offline install messages that get displayed twice, separated by some sound card initialisation messages. Dnf then kicked in and displayed some messages I couldn't read because they scrolled off the screen too quickly, but it did get to the point of telling me there were 6 F28 packages with broken dependencies (being 4 Boost packages, qt-qtbase and polkit-qt5-1) and that I should use --allowerasing and --skip-broken. It then proceeded to tell me there were 137 packages to install, 3410 packages to upgrade, 13 packages it was going to remove, 6 packages it was going to downgrade, and 6 packages with broken dependencies. It then proceeded to tell me there were no packages to download, and that its transaction tests were successful so it was going to do the install. After pausing for a little while it then produced a message that started with the work failed written in red, but the messages scrolled off too quickly to read as it continued on to boot into F27. 1). Can anyone shed any light on why the install may have failed and what I need to do to work around it? I'm hoping I don't have to run a 'sudo dnf clean all' and then a 'sudo dnf system-upgrade --refresh --releasever=28 --allowerasing --skip-broken' to download all the packages again. 2). Where can I find the logs that would contain the error message so I can read what it said, given that /var/log/boot.log and /var/log/dnf.log both don't contain the message? regards, Steve
